Hear Hear! I think the 'overly clever' started with yield becoming an expression. At an operational level coroutines and generators are very similar At a conceptual level they are quite apart: coroutines generalize subroutines whereas generators generalize lists to possibly infinite, possibly incomplete lists -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
